The magazine reports that Gal Gadot (Fast and Furious), Elodie Yung (G.I. Joe: Retaliation) and Olga Kurylenko (Quantum of Solace) are in the running for a female lead role described as "tall, brunette, athletic and exotic," according to Variety. These descriptors fit Wonder Woman (though Variety sources say it could also describe a Bruce Wayne love-interest role). MTV reports that Jaimie Alexander (Thor: The Dark World) has hinted at having met with Warner Bros. about playing Wonder Woman, too.

Zack Snyder will direct the Man of Steel sequel, which is currently scheduled to hit theaters on July 17th, 2015.
